Mr. President: Mint the $1 trillion coin

There is a simple, safe and legal way to keep the United States from defaulting on its debt while giving exactly zero concessions to congressional Republicans: mint a $1 trillion coin.

Sign the petition asking President Obama to order the minting of a $1 trillion coin if congressional Republicans refuse to raise the national debt limit. As the debt ceiling approaches, we will deliver the signatures to the White House:

To President Barack Obama:

In the event that congressional Republicans continue to demand concessions in order to raise the national debt limit, please order the minting of a $1 trillion platinum coin.

The United States must not default on its debt. Further, congressional Republicans must not receive concessions in order to pay for debts which congressional Republicans incurred.
